Colon Cancer Awareness

In addition to a new Facebook page at Blue Hope Hard Hat we were on AM Buffalo yesterday spreading the word about Colorectal Cancer awareness and the Blue Hope Hard Hat Initative. Thank you to AM Buffalo for having us. Click here to watch the video segment at WKBW’s website.

This website was created to build awareness for Colorectal Cancer and the preventable measures that can stop it. Colorectal Cancer is a prevalent but treatable disease when found through screening. Regular screening for Colorectal Cancer can reduce the number of people who die from this disease by 30%.

The various tones of blue incorporated in the website design appropriately aligns alongside the Blue Hope Hard Hat initiative and the Colon Cancer Alliance brand. During the month of March, participants will wear their branded Blue Hope Hard Hats on jobsites around Buffalo and make use of new toolbox talks covering colorectal health and screenings at jobsite meetings.

The hashtag #protectyourass will serve as the primary marketing phrase, allowing seamless integration of the initiative across countless social and traditional platforms.

The hard hats will be provided at cost with an estimated $10/hat price. The more these are seen on our local job sites the more we can raise awareness. Participating companies will be provided with an 80% by 2018 pledge and resources to promote cancer screen-friendly workplace policies.

We hope to spark conversation and levity around a serious topic to reduce the stigma and encourage more people to get tested.
